    Chris my truck’s AC works 90% of the time but in the last month I noticed on occasion it blows “semi cool” air for about 5-10 secs then continues blowing cold are as it should. It does this sporadically , any thoughts?

    Great coverage in the whole aspect of replacing the compressor. Other mechanic videos were not as clear and only included some parts of replacing the compressor. Good job in explaining in detail!! I will try doing this myself.😢 A quote from a mechanic was $1200 to fix & part was $650 when I can purchase for $260 myself.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Louis Aven says:

    So if compressor comes with oil in it already. No need to add any oil? So the oil is inside for the compressor to function. Oil does not go where freon goes thru correct. 🤔 sorry just wondering
